Seen and heard from Arizona's 38-20 win over San Diego State at Snapdragon Stadium.
Justin Spears SAN DIEGO — The red zone — Jedd Fisch calls it the “red area” — was one of the biggest points of emphasis for the Wildcats during the offseason after an abysmal showing in 2021.
“It’s how you win football games,” Fisch said after the game. “If you go back in the test of time, the No. 1 stat is more points than the other team. The No. 2 stat is takeaways, so for us, the only way to score more points is to be better in the red area and to defend the red area better, which both things we did.”“Just knowing mismatches, what play calls are called and who we’re trying to go after, so it just helped getting repetition every day,” he said.
Snapdragon Stadium included a number of local food and beverage vendors, including Hodad’s, Resident Brewing Company, The Crack Shack and Sandbar Sports Grill; beer was served to fans in metal solo cups. The television screens on the main concourse didn’t show the CBS broadcast of Arizona-San Diego State, but UCLA-Bowling Green instead.
Big number100Kickoff temperature for Saturday was announced at 100 degrees, the hottest recorded game in SDSU history — home or away.This year also marks the 100th season for San Diego State as a program. “RichRod wanted us to look more uniform with issued gear on and not have us worrying too much about looking good on game day,” Tevis tweeted. “I didn't mind either approach.”
